Onion 'Pearl Drop'

“Minis” will bulb smaller and sooner the farther north they are grown. Suited to 40° and higher latitudes for mini cipollinis, and for small to medium onions farther south.

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Pearl Drop is generally regarded as a very hardy plant, so this plant will tend to go dormant over the long winter months. Pearl Drop needs a loamy, clay and sandy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

Aim to sow 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 1.0 inches (2.56 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 13°C / 55°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Pearl Drop about 28 days before your last frost date.

Pearl Drop is very hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
